SPOTLIGHTING IU SUCCESS

Striving for excellence

Senior Morgan Mohr’s accomplishments have earned her international attention. An avid campaigner for progressive issues and social justice, Morgan has taken on roles with presidential campaigns, interned with government offices, and founded campus groups to combat injustice. She was named a Rhodes Scholar for 2017, and plans to continue her studies at Oxford University in England.

Finding a new beginning

When Ted Britton came to Bloomington this past summer, he had six years of military service under his belt. After rising to sergeant in the Marine Corps, working in Hawaii, Japan, and Korea, Britton found himself starting over. He turned to IU’s Peer Advisors for Veterans Education Program, a support program connecting incoming student veterans with student veterans on campus.

Advocating for others

At six years old, Sneha Dave was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that causes immune system problems. After deciding to undergo a life-changing surgery, Sneha had her large intestine removed. Four years later, Shena—now an IU freshman—is in remission and using her personal experience to be a champion for others just like her.
